Thanks for all ya'lls help. What would I do without all the great people here at DTR?

Now the question is, what to do now that the top is off....hmmm....
the only thing in there that will give you power gains is rotating the fuel pin. or taking it out and grinding it. you could adjust the starwheel if you wanted more smoke.

I did that. I marked stock location and did a 180* turn on it. Cant quite tell if its made a difference. The roads have been wet from 2 days of rain and I already had no problem getting it sideways. It does seem to start just a bit easier though.

I dont wanna grind it away or do much else to it yet cause I still lack a pyro.

I know...I know...gauges, gauges, gauges FIRST! NO gauges is the main reason its still in stock form. I got a boost gauge but that's cause rbrettCTD pulled an old one out of his toolbox, held it out to me and said, "Here." (thanks again by the way)

Shelby, let me know if you want some help tinkering with your truck. I'm curious to see what the fuel pin looks like.

Thanks Randy, I guess we'll see who wins the race because I don't have the money for a pyro right now either.
